3. Initiate your rollover with Empower
4. Get a check in the mail and deposit it into your new IRA account

Withdrawing, or cashing out, your McDonalds 401(k) may provide liquidity, though it can come with significant tax implications and penalties, potentially hampering your retirement savings growth. If you have explored other options, like a 401(k) rollover or loan, and decided to withdraw, the process only involves a few steps: Determine how much of your McDonalds 401(k) you’d like to cash out.

1. Call or contact your McDonalds 401(k) plan administrator.
2. Request that your account be liquidated in the amount of your choosing.
3. Have the administrator send the requested cash-out amount to via paper check or ACH transfer.
4. Wait a few days to receive the money.

Remember, cashing out should typically be reserved for emergency circumstances. Capitalize can help you roll over your McDonalds 401(k) instead, saving you from tax implications and penalties.
